Come on Chris - Let's hear the original version! ;-) I looked through the comparison, and they said that FM had something called a Creation Option that was their equivalent to an AutoNumber. It also seemed like to have additional tables you needed to create a separate file for each additional table. It sounds like you're saying that Access can't read data from FM. It that correct?

RUN FOR THE HILLS! I recently finished a project that involved data being transfered between FileMaker Pro and Access. FileMaker Pro is HORRIBLE, you CANNOT uniquely identify a record, you can therefore figure out how good FileMaker Pro acts as a relatoinal database. I'm not even sure they claim to be a relational database, it's certainly THE choice if you want your database to look pretty. And this review is the polite version. -Chris Mackin -----Original Message----- From: Dan Waters [mailto:dwaters at usinternet.com] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 8:37 AM To: Database Advisors Subject: [AccessD] Access vs. Filemaker Comparison Reference? Hello to all! I may have an opportunity to work on a project where the company has part of what they need already done with a Filemaker database. Where could I find a comparison between the two databases? Thanks!
